Default Back in a Cossie :-)

After a lot of thought I finally decided that I would get back into Cossie ownership and picked up my "new" 3dr yesterday, my took some quick pics today inbetween the rain showers so they're not the greatest but I thought I'd put them up anyway.

Its stage 3 at the mo and the plan was/is to put the sapph running gear into it but after driving it home and it being so nice and relatively civilised compared to the sapph I'm not so sure now lol.

Anyway, here's the pics, I want to take some better ones when the weather cheers up lol.













Hope you like!

You know my thoughts, But hey I will say it again Stunning Stunning!!!!!!!!!!

After all the bad luck you have been through this year a well deserved bit of luck to get your hands on a stunning 3dr & in no doubt will soon be one of the best on the forum if not already with your attension to detail!!

I for one can not wait to see what you have planned my friend Loving the 500 Bumper!

Stunning mate really is,you just enjoy stage 3 for bit,then you can always get serious and transplant your saphs running gear in when you get a little bored of stage 3 power.

I'm sure when you decide to up the power a few phone calls will have you plenty of hands to help. It'll be done over a weekend easy.
Looks nice.

Thanks for the comments, yeah, it is Davies old one, I didn't know that until Brammer told me, it just seemed a really nice place to start with a really nice spec to begin with,

Some interior and underbonnet pics that the dealer who was selling it sent to me...



















And the 2 box files full of reciepts that came with it, every MOT since it's first one in 1990 etc



Like I say, they aren't the greatest pics and I will take my own at some point but just thought I'd share them anyway

I know a couple of panel beaters if theres any paintless dent removal needed.
If you haven't got a mop to perfect the paint finish give us a shout.
If it needs any paint I know local painters who are awesome. Get your running gear in it.
